OBSTACLES IN THE HEAVENLY RACE MONDAY APRIL 10
TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 3:12-15
Key Verse: “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus” Hebrews 3:1
God has called us to a high, holy and heavenly calling, so your names have been enrolled in heaven. Considering the total population of about 7 billion humans on earth, are we sure the names in the book of life is up to Five Hundred Million? We are so blessed to have our names are in the book of life. However, the Lord wants to warn you of some obstacles on the way to heaven. 1 Corinthians 9: 24-27. 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
What are the things that withdraw people’s names from the Book of life? : (1) Unbelief: When Peter turned his eyes away from Jesus, He began to sink. The Israelite despite great things the Lord did on their way to the promise land they still disbelieve. Hebrews 3: 7-12, 4:1-3; (2) The Flesh – Galatians. 5: 16-21: The flesh is a big and mighty obstacle. If you don’t manage your flesh or body it will remove your name from the book of life; (3) The Word: Be careful with the cares of this world. 2 Timothy 4:10;
(4) Family – Matthew 10: 34 -38 Do not allow the pressure from your family members to stop you from Heaven; (5) Money – 1 Timothy 6: 7-10: Remember Judas sold Jesus with 30 pieces of Silver. Do not love money more than God; (6) Satan – Matthew 4:1-11: Jesus was tempted, but He overcame, so you must also overcome Satan. 1 Peter 5: 7-8. The Lecturer tells you to lie with him so he can pass you in the examination. That is the lie of the devil.
Thought of the day: Lest after I have preached to others I myself should be cast away.
Song of the day: Heavenly race, I no go tire….
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 4-6; Luke 12:35-59

August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
